"i can't believe the electricity went out. right as we were about to finish the movie too..."
soobin watches you as your head falls back against the couch, the soft light of the flickering candle illuminating your features. he's always thought you looked pretty at nighttime, whether that was under the twinkling stars, in your bed on your phone screen, or now, behind the warmth of a candle.
"maybe the universe wanted us to meet up once more to finish it," he states, watching you voice out a coarse laugh as your head lolls over to face him.
"you're acting like we won't meet up for a million more times to watch a billion other movies," you retort, and soobin watches a small smile find its way across your face as you pull your knees up to your chest.
a ding startles you both out of the silence that had fallen between you two, and soobin watches as you unlock your phone and read the text message.
"they say the power will be back tomorrow morning. god, how am i going to survive the entire night by myself? i hate being in the dark..."
"you could keep your flashlight on the entire night," soobin suggests, ruffling his hair, "or do you have those battery powered candles? are those even real—"
the sound of pattering on your window, and it isn't long before his face morphs into one of disappointment and he lets out a groan.
"it's hailing! y/n, oh my god how am i going to get home?"
soobin paces around, muttering underneath his breath about whether or not his car would survive ten 10 minute drive back to his apartment, however, all problems seem to have a solution when he hears your soft voice utter a suggestion.
"maybe, you could stay over tonight? i don't want to be alone, and you don't need to risk ruining your car."
he stills, turning around to face you.
"are you sure? i don't want to make you uncomfortable or anything—"
"no no, it's fine with me! i'll sleep on the couch too, the bed is more comfortable."
"no way am i letting you sleep on the couch!"
after bickering for awhile, you both ended up on your bed, a pillow between you two for safety.
"we should've done this from the beginning. arguing with you wore me out."
soobin laughs softly in response, although his voice is riddled with sleep as a yawn follows suit.
"go to bed soob. we can talk tomorrow."
he reaches over and pats the top of your head, and even though the small candle in the corner is the only source of lighting in the room, he can see your lips quirk up from his actions.
"good night y/n. sleep tight."
